Wassup Bose? I am sure others will have different theories. As for me I do all my topping and other manipulating prior to 12/12. I don't like to chance shocking them too much.

How are you? That's what I think as well. I have read otherwise. And just thought I would ask see if anyone has had success with it. Thanks

Yes.

Most of your branches should still be flexible enough to manipulate without inducing stress,

I don't recommend trimming, especially in flower. More foliage = more light absorption / less wasted light. Instead try to move the large fan leaves the best you can without removing them.

You're plenty early enough into flower where you can train her quite easily. Don't cut any fans, just move them around.

I wanna see what happens when you top or fim like two days before flower or even the day you switch. Curious. I wonder if it would help control stretch?

There's even more variables, like which lighting causes/controls stretch, temperatures, strain is a really big determining factor in how long the plant takes to switch from veg to bloom.

When topping right before or at flip, you can expect the plant to send lots of shoots and THOSE will stretch. Later on, different effects may appear.
